Abstract

Ovulation induction with HMG-HCG in three patients with anorexia nervosa is reported. Despite the nutritional and psychiatric problems associated with this disease, these patients tolerated the emotional and physical challenges of fertility failures, pregnancy, delivery, lactation, and early motherhood extremely well. Unexpectedly, two patients reverted to spontaneous ovulatory menstrual cycles following delivery. Usually hypogonadotropic hypogonadal women require retreatment with HMG-HCG. This reversal was accompanied by return of normal weight and eating habits.
